About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. The west-facing orientation delivers afternoon sunlight across the 135-square-metre interior, while the private solarium extends the living space upwards, offering uninterrupted coastal vistas and a dedicated outdoor area for evening entertaining or morning coffee with the Mediterranean in view.
The layout separates two double bedrooms across the penthouse level, each served by its own bathroom, with the principal living-dining room opening directly onto a terrace that frames the sea. The kitchen connects to the main living space, and the dual-aspect design allows natural light to reach deep into the apartment throughout the day. The solarium adds a second tier of outdoor space, fully private and elevated above neighbouring rooflines, ideal for sun loungers or a small dining setup with coastal panorama.
Atalaya Green Mar is a gated community with 24-hour security, mature landscaped gardens, and a communal swimming pool shared among low-density blocks. The complex sits 1.5 kilometres from Playa Atalaya, a Blue Flag beach with chiringuitos and watersports, and less than ten minutes by car from Estepona's historic centre. The AP-7 motorway lies five minutes north, connecting Marbella in 15 minutes and Sotogrande in 20, while local supermarkets, pharmacies, and the Saturday market in Estepona port are all within a short drive. The penthouse is unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to configure the space to personal preference.

9 questions answered
Buying this penthouse in Estepona
Can foreigners buy property in Estepona?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Estepona. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Estepona?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
